Sekret #0.5

by Lindsay Smith

This thrilling prequel to Lindsay Smith's SEKRET tells the story of how Yulia's parents met while fighting Nazis in World War II.

Antonina never meant to become a cog in the Soviet machine. She only wanted an opportunity to conduct her research on genetic mutations and psychic ability. But now her research is being used to find other psychics to carry out Stalin's demands. And together they are being sent deep into Nazi Germany to steal secrets. Antonina fears there is no escape from her life of lies and subterfuge, until she meets Andrei, who gives her hope that she is gifted, not KURSED.

Really interesting to see the beginning of the project from first book but kinda weird to technically read an adult novella set for teens
